but in state government. but one of the things we did ask was thats as the federal government considers the cuts that they are going to make, that they consider the cuts upon the state and when there are cuts upon the state, yet still mandated things that we have to do, that has an effect upon our budget. we asked for flexibility and how the money is passed down to the states and the cuts that are passed down that we would have the flexibility to do what's in the best interest of our states, whether it's in relation to our budget, our different problems that we have in our states and how we would be able to make the decisions based upon what's best for our states. >> let me add to that if i can. we did talk about medicaid but we talked about the overall budget and the deficit and the debt reduction that needs to take place. and doing it in a way at that doesn't topple the economy. we understand how you can help pate bills by a healthy growing economy. what i did appreciate was that president obama pledged to

we will rebuild but we need the government's help. the port authority receives no taxpayer money from either your or new jersey. we rely solely on user fees and all those revenue streams have their limitations. we are assessing exact costs of repair and recovery, but our needs are enormous. we face hundreds of millions of dollars in immediate repairs and billions of dollars to install projects such as protecting an elevating electrical substations at the airports as well as additional capacity at the airports to safeguard our system in the future. the obama administration and this congress have been great partners throughout this process, and we are grateful. the cost will be high, but it would be unfathomable in terms of the cost of lost productivity, disabled economies, and a fractured transportation networks should we fail to make those investments. the road ahead will be a challenge, but with the help of the government, we know that recovery is possible. thank you for holding this hearing, senator. >> we know well we are neighbors

government. this is an opportunity for russia to show that that vote was juft, this is an opportunity to show the international community at large you can be a constructive force at a time of great need and you have the capability to do some good. i find it ironic and red lines are talked about, but the red line here is literally red. the line we're crossing is 40,000 people have died. what bothers me is the most we are all fixated on the method of killing, not the killing itself. for over a year, we have been talking about getting involved and need to stop this before it gets out of hand. we want to shape what happens after assad leaves. it will be hard to go to the syrian people when they achieve their freedom and say we would like to help you and they will say, you did little at a time in our debatest need. we have a chance to correct that impression. from an american national security point of view, if we don't secure these chemical weapons, we are going to reget it. the weapons will fall int

you can see it in the government with medicare and social security. no one is arguing we have to cut medicare and social security taxes because they see them tied to something very specific. it goes into a trust fund used for their benefit. in the process of this, if you could print this discussion much more fully home -- it is more than just fixing to that, and that is a specific use of it, bringing it home to some actual uses of this fund, how are you going to make the social security trust funds solvent over a long period, making it worked, you would find resistance to this stuff a great deal less. >> do you think the president has made that connection with the outreach he has done since the election or during the election? >> snowe, it is still -- no, it is still in a class warfare mode on both sides. bringing it home, thinking about what you are going to tell that person wherever you see them about this -- you can take the sting out of this thing by -- there are other people here who have political things that may have raised or not have raised t
